Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 24, 2013 6:57 pm Just wondering if anyone could recommend a building inspector in Perth. I have been told that there are some inspectors out there who don't have much experience in the industry. where you happy with the report you received? I have been referred to one from this forum and he seems very experienced but his quote has come in at a lot more than I was expecting. Thanks T Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 4Sep 25, 2013 6:35 pm Was that my recommendation? He's twice the price of some other inspectors I've found but based on the reports I've seen from others - you get what you pay for! Building with Dale Alcock Homes in Aveley Our thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=63880 And yes, my pants are indeed fancy. Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 5Sep 25, 2013 8:00 pm I've used two recommended here inspectors and both weren't good. Plus it really p!ssed off our SS because we used independent inspector as he (SS) thought we didn't trust him and his abilities to do his job. Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 6Sep 25, 2013 11:10 pm Thank you for all your replies. Yes Fancypants your recommendation will probably be the way we will go - yes literally double what I expected but hubby and I felt most comfortable with his knowledge after speaking to a couple of others. AubinGroveFan - I must admit I am a bit concerned that our SS might take offence and he seems very experienced himself. I have really been unsure what to do about inspection at this stage of the build. One before handover is a must for me but hubby thinks this structural one is even more important although my thoughts are Dales has a lifetime structural guarantee anyway so if anything did go wrong I would expect them to sort out. I have found Dales excellent in addressing any of our queries and concerns therefore have confidence it would be the same if we had issues down the track. But at the same time would hate not to pick something up.

DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 10Mar 28, 2014 4:42 pm I'm a first time builder so haven't used anyone yet, but we definitely will be using one throughout the build. A friend of mine recommended Housepect and had a good experience with them. Not sure how their pricing is compared to others, but worth it if they do a good job I suppose. Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 11Mar 28, 2014 4:46 pm I've spoken with a couple. Ended up bailing on the endeavor all together due to unforeseen circumstances (I'm now having plans drawn by WABCA). But I know this company does some sort of building surveying stuff too. Jims Building Inspections is another (may be a bit commercial and pricey though) Re: Building Inspector recommendations Perth 12May 27, 2014 4:10 pm I too am after a buildng inspector in Perth. If anyone gets a chance please PM your recommendations.

Im not worried by the standard of my build as the SS is great and the trades they have used so far look like they know what they are doing and it seems to be good quality from what I can see, but as it is such an important purchase peace of mind is golden.

I'm sure the members won't mind you PMing them to find out if they were happy with their work I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2270 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45550 I have posted this before: We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing. Thorough reports… 2 4505 |
